EFF has a guiding star 🌠

Your privacy and free speech online are more important, and precarious, than ever. Keep EFF fighting into 2024 and you’ll help unlock bonus grants in our Year-End Challenge, too! [This is a friendly message from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.]( [EFF logo]( Defend Your Digital World [Image that says "Year-End Challenge" on a purple and pink background with a blue star]( Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom, Do you ever look at something once and then get targeted ads? Have you ever been exposed in some company’s data breach? Ever heard a lawmaker push restrictions on tech they don’t understand? To live in the modern world is to interact with technology in ways that are wonderful—and others that are an absolute pain in the butt. It's not fair to trade in your dignity or safety, and that’s why people like you stand with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. [Will you keep EFF fighting and boost us up in our Year-End Challenge?]( Make ANY donation by December 31 and you’ll help unlock bonus grants! Every supporter gets us closer to a series of seven Year-End Challenge grants set by EFF’s board. These grants become larger as the number of online rights supporters grows. [See the counter.]( EFF is Not Messing Around Tech touches nearly every aspect of the world, and your rights need protection. Recently, EFF members enabled our team to: - Speak out at the United Nations Cybercrime Treaty negotiations to stop the countries of the world from agreeing to undermine our digital rights. - Work on multiple court cases that likely inspired a federal judge to rule that cell phone searches at the U.S. border require a warrant. - Call out proposals across the globe that would sacrifice your speech and security under the pretense of protecting children. - Spell out the dangers of automated license plate readers (ALPRs), leading California’s Attorney General to declare that it’s illegal to share this data out-of-state. - Lobby to end Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act to stop the FBI and NSA’s massive access to our communications without a warrant. EFF has one guiding star: your freedom as a tech user. You can help EFF’s lawyers, activists, policy analysts, and technologists keep advancing toward a brighter future for everybody.
